The book is outdated and incorrect. Some of the diagrams in the book are wrong, and some better techniques have been developed. If you look around on the forums, you'll find plenty of information on "portablizing," etc.

The community around the book really has died; these forums aren't really active any more.

If you really want the book, though, I'm sure someone has a copy they'll sell you for less. Check the Trading Post.

a pdf file would work for you...
